Making money is the main purpose of this game for PA and keeping content that scares away 90% of potential newbies makes no sense at all…better get used to the possibility that they will enforce a game status that keeps those 90% losses lower as it is today… I know this will be “another” eve…but a better one… ---

That’s at least 3 billion people. 10% of that is still huge, so I don’t think it’s much of a problem to weed out those who don’t fit the baseline of the game. Really though, if you try to create a product so broad, that 90% like it, it must be something other than a game. No game will attract 90% of the people. ---

I’m pretty sure EVE is even closer to final death now than it was the other 3,642 times this topic has been raised in the forums over the last dozen or more years. Probably by about the number of years that have passed since thread #X was posted. ---

So much info to consider on this subject. The amount of games to choose from now compared to when it was released. That is probably the biggest factor for any games player base. Some what regular updates/ new content vs. those games that just barely keep the servers running. Testimony from players that started in the beginning have said that player base is more consistent then it used to be. Not sure about overall player base. With all that in mind Eve seems just fine. New content is always questionable, but still happening, new graphic updates are still being done, etc. ---

You wrote “potential new players” you dumbo. Also, I doubt you can understand even the remotest form of humor, because for this, you’d need to at least have the wits of a pile of mud. Let me make it clear for you. Pile of Mud: 1. You: 0. Let’s be serious for a moment. Why are you so salty about EVE? What happened to you? Did you apply for a job but Hilmar didn’t like you? Were you not qualified? Did they not believe you, that under the crust of your shriveled mind, there is indeed some smarts? Try not to be so bitter, it’s not good for you. Back to the topic. Again, if you try to please everyone, you will please no one. If CCP had yielded to any whiny and overzealous creep that shows up on the forums, this game would be long gone.
